We are still having renovations done at the farm putting in 2 new rings and a XC jumping area as well as additional pastures and it has been a very slow slow process .
Our gravel driveway is ready and if everyone could please park there for drop offs and pick ups we would greatly appreciate it . Please refrain from parking on the grass as we are trying to put in another pasture area and grow grass for the ponies . A sign will be posted for everyone. (By the mail box in the gravel driveway ) Thank you for your patience and understanding during this ridiculously long construction . Please feel free to ask any additional questions you may have .
